PSYCHOLOGICALLY INFORMED
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT & CONSULTATION

Building emotionally intelligent, thriving organizations

Dr. Jane Keat is a psychologist and psychoanalyst offering consultation, group facilitation, and organizational development assistance to CEOs, senior leaders, and their teams to build thriving, psychologically intelligent, and emotionally sustainable organizations. I work with mission-driven start-ups and businesses, both for-profit and nonprofit.

​

So much of what happens inside an organization is related to emotional and psychological factors. Groups and organizations—as living systems—have a life of their own and develop their own emotions, behaviors, and patterns. They are also deeply affected by the sociopolitical realities of the world around them and carry the wounds of systemic and intergenerational trauma and injustice. 


Yet traditional management and organizational development approaches do not attend to these psychosocial aspects of organizational life—despite the research demonstrating that psychological safety, dependability, and sense of identity and purpose determine team effectiveness and success. As a result, teams and leaders can get stuck in repetitive patterns, conflicts, and dysfunctions that prevent them from fulfilling their missions, leading to vicious cycles of inefficacy, stress, burnout, and crisis. This is the need I work to meet.


As a psychologist/psychoanalyst and sociopolitically attuned systems thinker, with more than 15 years of organizational experience, I harness a psychologically informed and strategic approach to help leaders:

​​

  • Identify and address barriers to success

  • Effectively manage change and conflict

  • Repair stressed and burned-out teams

  • Move through crisis

  • Find practical ways to create the most emotionally sustainable, generative conditions for working and creating together
